Meet the NCC Leadership Team driving our business forward.
The NCC is one of seven innovation centres that form the High Value Manufacturing Catapult.
Following the Prime Minister’s Briefing on Monday 23 March where he gave clear guidance for the nation to stay at home, and in line with University of Bristol action to close down all of its buildings, the NCC has taken the decision to close both the NCC HQ and NCC Filton centres until further notice, effective from 24 March 2020.
The vast majority of NCC staff have already been working from home, successfully holding digital meetings with our members, customers and other partners and will continue to do so. You can still get in touch with us through your usual contacts via email and phone, or please email info@nccuk.com. We are in touch with our customers to discuss arrangements for our current projects.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. We will continue to update our website and social media channels to keep you informed.
